SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
REAR SUSPENSION
Spring Pre-load Adjustment
The rear suspension spring pre-
load is adjustable to compensate
for rider, load, riding style and
road conditions. The adjustment
can be performed in seven posi-
tions. To change the spring pre-
load setting, follow the procedure
below.
1. Place the motorcycle on the
side stand.
2. Insert the ignition key into the
lock and turn it counterclock-
wise. Unhook the hooks and
remove the right frame cover.
WARNING
Riding with the side stand
incompletely retracted can
result in an accident when you
turn left.
• Check operation of the side
stand/ignition interlock sys-
tem before riding.
• Always retract the side stand
completely before starting
off.
CAUTION
Park the motorcycle on firm,
level ground to help prevent it
from falling over.
If you must park on an incline,
aim the front of the motorcycle
uphill and put the transmission
into 1st gear to reduce the pos-
sibility of rolling off the side
stand.
